Does anyone know of any packages in portage that a kid can work with
to teach and perhaps let them play with making their own music?
Thanks

What age group are we talking about? What kind of music? Conventional?
MIDI? Weird electronic?
I don't think there's anything in Portage as user-friendly as, say,
Garage Band.
In any event, there's quite a bit of music software in Portage, but a
lot of it is quite detailed, special purpose, and has a pretty steep
learning curve. There are probably some simple things in the educational
piece of KDE, but I think for someone young, you'd be better off with a
commercial package on Windows or Macintosh than subjecting them to open
source hackery. Unless, of course, that's exactly the kind of musician
they want to be. :)
And it's exactly the kind of musician I am. :)
